An endangered leopard cub that playfully cuddled with Russian President Vladimir Putin, didn't take too kindly to paparazzi and attacked nearby reporters on Tuesday.
Everything seemed to be alright at the leopard breeding center when Putin played with a six month-old Persian leopard at the Sochi nature reserve.
Then again, there a few things outside of homosexuals that Pootie-Poots loves more than animals. Putin is famed the world over for his way with animals.
"We made friends," said Putin, according to a report by Britain's The Telegraph newspaper. "We've decided to restore the population of the Persian leopard because of the Olympic Games. Let's say that because of the Olympic Games, we have restored parts of destroyed nature."
The savage creature, however, didn't play nice with members of Putin's entourage and only appeared to calm down while in the presence of Vlad the Animal Whisperer.
The wild cat got quickly got agitated when accompanying reporters entered the fray and scratched one reporter and bit another.

Putin, Aliyev and Sarkisian met in Sochi

Presidents of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan met at the Russian president’s summer residence on Sunday and pledged that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict must be resolved peacefully.
“I am glad to state that the President of Azerbaijan drew attention to the necessity of resolving the problem peacefully, and the President of Armenia has agreed. This is, in fact, very important, because there is no greater tragedy than the death of people,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said, according to reports on the Armenia president’s official website.
President Putin met with his Armenian and Azerbaijani counterparts – Serzh Sarkisan and Ilham Aliyev – in his residence in Sochi to discuss the current situation in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh enclave in the South Caucasus.
“We should show patience, wisdom, respect to each other to find this solution,” added Putin.
During the Aliyev said that “the UN adopted four resolutions demanding an immediate and unconditional withdrawal of Armenian occupation forces from Azerbaijani territory. Unfortunately, these resolutions have remained on paper for over 20 years”.
“I hope that in the near future we will find a peaceful, negotiated solution that will be in line with the norms and principles of international law and in line with justice,” Aliyev said.
Sarkisian in turn asked the Azerbaijani leader whether official Baku had fulfilled the resolution that Aliyev keeps pointing to.
“The Azerbaijani side constantly refers to four resolutions of the UN. My rhetorical question to Mr. Aliyev is: What paragraph of those resolutions has been fulfilled by Azerbaijan?” Armenian president said.
He added that Armenia fulfilled the requirements and exercised its influence so that no hostilities could take place.
Sarkisian also said that in the 1990s the sides reached an opinion that there can be no military solution to the conflict.
“And if we accuse each other again, I think the conflict will not be resolved for a long time,” added Sarkisian, stressing that “the resolution of this issue stems from the national interests of Armenia,” added the Armenian president.
Sarkisian and Aliyev both said that the conflict could be resolved through “compromise” solutions proposed by the OSCE Minsk Group and within the parameters of that initiative,
“We hope that soon, by means of negotiations, by peaceful means, we shall find a solution to comply with international law and with justice,” Aliyev said.

Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics: Vladimir Putin good to go bro

The Sochi Winter Olympic Games started the first day of competition on Thursday and is getting ready for the opening ceremony on Friday. Russian president Vladimir Putin is ready to take the global center stage, but is the rest of the world even going to watch?
Security is definitely one of the biggest worries at this year's games. Russia has recruited about 37,000 police and security personnel to take care of security during the competitions. The Russian government also put a temporary ban on all liquids, gels, aerosols and powders in carry-on luggage on flights between the United States and Russia a day after the U.S. warned of how explosive materials could be hidden in toothpaste or cosmetic tubes.
Russia went a tad over their estimated US$12 billion budget at US$51 billion. This makes it the most expensive Olympics ever. The money Putin sunk on the Winter Games surpasses what the Chinese blew in the 2008 Beijing Summer Games.
Although the sports complexes were finished in time, the 40,000 new hotel rooms are a different story. Journalists and others have already been reporting on the rather horrendous room conditions as well as discolored, unsafe tap water. And of course there are also the double toilets that everyone has already talked about.
No doubt the games will experience some problems like the crazy jump on the women's downhill or not enough snow, but at least there's Jamaican bobsledding. Rumor has it that Putin will introduce some gay-friendly events this year like the bi-biathlon and the couples skate. Will Sochi have its black power moment as well?

Putin puts foot down in Formula One car, speeds up to 240 km/h

The Russian PM Vladimir Putin seems to be looking to become the fastest politician in the world. His need for speed was fulfilled in St. Petersburg, where he took to the track on four wheels. He reached speeds of up to 240 km/h (150 mph) in a Formula One car, after a full safety rundown from trained professionals. This sudden interest in racing comes after Russia's successful bid to hold an F1 event after the Sochi Olympics in 2014. A deal for a Russia's first Grand Prix in Sochi was signed three weeks ago.

Click here to see this video if it is blocked in your country. http://rutube.ru/video/da1c510c7eaa227381b4d69d67c099ff/
Also thanks to for an article they posted about my views on this subject to raise awareness. http://www.thegailygrind.com/2013/09/07/drag-queen-demi-whore-tells-putin-fuck-you-very-very-much-in-a-viral-video-protest-song/
This video has been made with the intention to raise awareness for the Anti-Gay Law that was passed in Russia... I cannot sit back and watch these horrific pictures and videos being posted to the internet for people to laugh at and egg on and to think that this is normal behaviour.. I am using my voice to say that THIS HAS TO STOP..
May I point out again, it is mine and my hubbies opinion on what is going on to the LGBT in Russia. I am angered by the way LGBT's (Humans) are being deprived of HUMAN RIGHTS!!!! It is disgusting! I just want to try to raise awareness, and hopefully spread the word (as the media are doing a very bad job of it) and try to inspire people to try to do something about it however small their efforts may be. Our Russian LGBT brothers and sisters, Our HUMAN Brothers and Sisters need our help!!
I do not own some of these pictures and videos in this video, this video is not made for making any sort of profit, it is mearly made to raise awareness of the horrific and homophobic bashing that is going on to the LGBT community in Russia, the Olympics in Sochi are due in 2014 and who knows who will be bashed and treated inhumanly due to this anti-gay law being passed by President Putin of Russia
this video is my own anger to spread awareness and to stop this basic human right
LYRICS
"Fuck You (Very Much)"
Look inside
Look inside your tiny mind
Now look a bit harder
Cause we're so uninspired, so sick and tired of all the hatred you harbor
So you say
It's not okay to be gay
Well I think you're just evil
You're just some racist who can't tie my laces
Your point of view is medieval
Fuck you
Fuck you very, very much
Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch
Fuck you
Fuck you very, very much
Cause your words don't translate
And it's getting quite late
So please don't stay in touch
Do you get
Do you get a little kick out of being slow minded?
You want to be like your father
It's approval you're after
Well that's not how you find it
Do you
Do you really enjoy living a life that's so hateful?
Cause there's a hole where your soul should be
Your losing control of it and it's really distasteful
Fuck you
Fuck you very, very much
Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch
Fuck you
Fuck you very, very much
Cause your words don't translate and it's getting quite late
So please don't stay in touch
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you,
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you,
Fuck you
You say, you think we need to go to war
Well you're already in one,
Cause its people like you
That need to get slew
No one wants your opinion
Fuck you
Fuck you very, very much
Cause we hate what you do
And we hate your whole crew
So please don't stay in touch
Fuck you
Fuck you very, very much
Cause your words don't translate and it's getting quite late

Sochi 2014 - Vladimir Putin vs Hitler 1936

Is the Sochi 2014 Olympics very different from the Berlin 1936 Olympics? Are the leaders of those countries very different (Vladimir Putin vs Adolf Hitler)?
Hitler was responsible for passing laws that caused massive human rights abuses, most of it in open public while the police did nothing. Meanwhile he got to host the Olympics.
Putin is currently responsible for passing laws causing massive human rights abuses, most of it in open public while the police do nothing. Meanwhile he is allowed to host the Olympics.
Will we not learn from history?
What is the difference between Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Putin? About 70 Years! https://www.facebook.com/AndrewFaureAnimation

Russian president Vladimir Putin made a surprise visit to Austria House in Krasnaya Polyana, Sochi on Sunday. The visit came on the day Austria's Matthias Mayer struck a big upset winning the men's Downhill, and upending the elite of his sport on his Winter Olympic debut. Amidst heightened security, the Russian President seemed in a relaxed mood and took time to shake hands and greet the public as he made his way to his car.
